Staples has the McAfee Total Protection 2013 for Windows (1-User) for sale for $46. There is a $49 rebate which makes this a $3 MM. Add the $5 off of $30 coupon which is "34536" to make it a $8 MM. Also this qualifies for Free shipping.

$46-5=$41-$49(Rebate) = $8MM(Also if you use shopdiscover you get the 5% for Staples and another 5% for purchasing online.)

Also, be aware that McAfee may enforce a one rebate/product/person/year limit even if the rebate offer number is different. Fortunately this is the 2013 software, so it hasn't been around very long and most people probably haven't done a rebate for it yet.

I agree as I have personally seen McAfee fail to prevent infections on two computers that previously had Norton after both owners went from Comcast to U-Verse.

Has this actually happened to anyone? I've submitted and received 15+ McAfee rebates in the past year, mostly for the same product, with a 100% success rate.

Also, the last 2 McAfee products I bought had a card inside for another $20 rebate for signing up for Always On. You don't have to install the software.

Hasn't happened to me, but several people on other threads have reported it happening to them. The rebate is invalidated with the message, "your rebate submission did not pass our audit process" or something like that. At least one person reported they were able to get their rebate validated "as a one time courtesy" after getting that rejection.

Tax kinda kills the deal. It went from an $8MM to a $4MM w/tax factored in.

Get the download version and choose store pick up in a no sales tax state (DE, OR, a few others).

Words in the rebate form say, "Rebate amount paid to customer for single or combined rebate offers may not exceed the purchase price of the McAfee product." So, I think I'll end up getting only $46 back. (Glad I used the $5 coupon to make my price $41.)

Got the download version and my receipt didn't include sales tax. Hope they don't add it later or my expected rebate will go down by another $3.57. <$49 less the rebate terms that say purchase price only = $46, less $3.57 tax = $42.43, less $41 price = $1.43 profit, plus 3% credit card reward (1.38) = final rebate of $2.81. Oh well, positive numbers are always good.

ditto, about 20-30 infections it failed to prevent on my kids computers, my in-laws computers, and my neighborhood friends. At first MalwareBytes was the savior of these “MacAfee protected” computers but Malwarebytes lost its potency against recent infections. HitMan Pro was the savior more recently, from url surfright.nl.

Microsoft Security Essentials or Windows-Defender are free and better. Still not much better than MacAfee as I have seen at least one root-kit infection with those also. At least Microsoft Security Essentials warned me about the root-kit though. But it was unable to remove it. Used trial HitMan Pro to remove it then.

Not sure about Norton never tried it.

After all my experience with malware I'm running Microsoft Security Essentials.But I would run HitMan Pro - surfright.nl, if I wanted to pay for it. Trial good enough for 30 days and one virus removal.I will not use MacAfee again anytime soon as I've seen too many infections while it was installed.

At least you didn't say you'd only be paid the $41.

Does this version include total protection from the police? I may need to disappear from the Belize 5-0.

BTW does he even own the company anymore? Or is his name still on it like with Norton.

I don't think he runs the company, no. Just got his name.

And I'm stupid, someone else made the same joke earlier, haha. Great minds think alike.

My rebate just showed up as valid for $49. I'll probably stop doing McAfee rebates for a while as I don't want to push my luck! I paid almost entirely with Rewards.
